The ESA Letter Process

What Is an Emotional Support Animal (ESA)?

An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) offers emotional, mental, or psychological comfort to individuals facing life’s challenges.

True Pets assists in having your dog or cat recognized as an Emotional Support Animal (ESA), providing essential support as a reasonable accommodation for individuals with a substantially limiting emotional or psychological condition.

How an ESA certification can help you avoid paying unnecessary fees:

Under the FHA and HUD guidelines, a person with a disability may request reasonable accommodations to keep an emotional support animal even if a housing community/landlord normally bans pets or charges pet fees.

Your ESA letter serves as the documented proof to facilitate this accommodation request.

Are ESA letters legal?

Yes, under the FHA and HUD guidelines, a person with a disability may request reasonable accommodations to keep an emotional support animal even if a housing community/landlord normally bans pets or charges pet fees.

Fair Housing Act (FHA) Protection:

The FHA requires landlords to make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, including those with ESAs. 

  • Legitimate ESA Letters:

    A valid ESA letter must be written by a licensed mental health professional (LMHP), such as a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist, on their official letterhead. 

  • Content of the Letter:

    The letter should confirm that the individual has a qualifying mental health condition that is improved by having an ESA, and that the animal is necessary for their well-being. 

  • Housing Rights:

    The ESA letter allows individuals to live with their emotional support animal in housing that may otherwise have "no pets" policies or pet fees. 

  • Not for Travel or Public Access:

    It's important to note that ESA letters do not provide the same legal protections for travel or public access as service dog letters (e.g., under the ADA).
